I am initiator of a group that wants to establish shared tasks in the Digital Humanities community. See this web page for details.
In June 2018, the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) approved a priority programme Computational Literary Studies (CLS). The programme comprises funding for about 15 projects in this area. Together with Fotis Jannidis, Evelyn Gius, Jonas Kuhn, Christof Schöch and Simone Winko, I am one of the applicants for the programme and a member of the coordinating committee.
In 2020, we have formed the CRETA association (“Verein” in German). I’m currently serving as head of the association. You can find more information on the web page (but mostly in German).
